there seems to be a problem with the newer hd memcard, they are slightly different & if the card reader is not marked then it will not connected proberly to the hd card, hd card like the "sandisk extrem" sdhc card has a higher streaming rate (up to 20mb/s) not all reader can handle that..... so check if your reader does accept sdhc cards...standard sd will not do!! officework has a suitable usb stick alike reader for ~ $10.-

I have been tearing what little hair I have left, out for a few weeks now. I am using a pretty new card reader to transfer .MTS files from an AVCHD SD card onto iMovie – video shot using Cannon FS200 HD video camera. When I use an ordinary AVCHD SD card, (not a HD VIDEO labelled AVCHD SD card) iMovie recognises the files straight away opens the Import window and allows me to select the .MTS files I wish to import. The HD VIDEO labelled AVCHD SD card will display the .MTS files within the ‘stream folder’ but they are greyed out and apparently not recognised by iMovie as importable. I can use a video converter that turns the files into a .MOV that iMovie recognises and can be imported. This is a slow and unwelcome addition to the work-flow. Trying to import files to (Intel) iMac with iMovie ’09. FCE does not recognise the files from the HD VIDEO card either. Cannot get files straight from the camera. Do I need a special card reader for HD VIDEO AVCHD SD cards? Is there a setting (staring at me)somewhere that I haven’t changed?
Anybody able to help? Regards John c
